Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room o

r a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1250 W/m^2.
Required:
What angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 33% of the original value?

Answer:

The answer is "35.6^{\circ}"

Explanation:

The sunlight level of the first panel:

I_1 = \frac{I_o}{2}

When the light of this intensity passes through the second window:

I_2 = I_1 \cos^2 \theta\\\\I_2 = \frac{I_o}{2} \cos^2 \theta

 \frac{I_2}{I_o} = 0.33 (33\%) \\\\

therefore,  

0.33 = \frac{1}{2} \cos^2 \theta\\\\\cos^2 \theta = 0.66\\\\\cos \theta = \sqrt{0.66} = 0.8124\\\\\theta = \cos^{-1}( 0.8124) = 35.6^{\circ}\\\\

You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can
tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope L=19\ m

velocity while running v=2\ m/s

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}

T=2\pi \times 1.392

T=8.74\ m/s

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end  of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s

What will the magnitude of the field be if the 10 nc charge is replaced by a 20 nc charge? Assume the system is big enough to co
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Same magnitude of the 10 nc charge cause the electric field is external.

Explanation:

To do a better explanation, let's go and suppose we have an electric field of, 1300 N/C with a 10 nC charge.

As the system we are talking about is really big, and the charge is small, we can assume always if the charge is sitting right in the same point where the electric field is, then, the electric field would not suffer any kind of alteration in it's value. Therefore, no matter what value of the charge is sitting here, the electric field is independent of the charge, so it would not feel any alteration. However, the force that the charge is feeling would be stronger than in the first case.

F = qE

If charge is doubled, then the force would be bigger in the second case than in the first case, but electric field remain the same value.

Nostrana [21]

The values with (1/2)(9.8 m/s2) (4 - X)^2 = (1.7 × 10^8 m/s) (X) —> We discover with the calculator X = 4.40 × 10^-7. The depth of the ice is then calculated by multiplying by the speed 74.8 m. Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 x 108 m/s.

What is radio waves?

A radio wave pulse that is delivered into the Antarctic ice returns after reflecting off the bottom rock. A radio wave pulse that is transmitted into the Antarctic ice bounces off the subsurface rock and resurfaces. ice in Antarctica Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 108 m/s. The rock reflects the radio wave pulse that was transmitted into the Antarctic ice. The amount of time that passed between the signal being sent and being received by the earth station.
